= GLIDDEN-DURKEE -- OIVISION OF BCM CORPORATION Fo r m 136 Pr in ie d in U. S A. 4/71 FROM H. J. Kiefer d at e Sept. 3, 1971 CITY Cleveland ANSWERING LETTER OF SUBJECT NPVLA INTERIOR LEAD PAINT ALERT FOR Mr. W. D. Kinsell In my letter of August 30 I outlined to you our status concerning NPVLA recommendations on consumer interior paints. In this letter I indicated that our conventional interior trade consumer line meets NPVLA recommendations of less than 1 per cent lead content. There are certain products in our line, trade maintenance paints, that can possibly find their way through contractors to the interior of residential dwellings. Also, it is possible that certain of our products are now handled or have been handled in the past by outlets for conventional consumer interior products. We are particularly concerned with Ultra-Hide Eggshell Y-5600 line, and Ultra-Hide Alkyd Plat Y-5700 products. There are four colors in each line which contain more than 1 per cent lead. These are, ULTRA-HIDE EGG SHELL (Old name Brush Daylite, Eggshell) 'Y-5694 Y-5695 Y-5696 Y-5697 Tiber Green Scarlet Red Sun Yellow Citrus Orange ULTRA-HIDE ALKYD FLAT Old Name Brush Daylite Flat) Manufactured by Wooster Paint Y-5794 Y-5795 Y-5796 Y-5797 Tiber Green Scarlet Red Sun Yellow Citrus Orange GLD012639 Mr. W. D. Kinsell (Interior Lead Paint) 2 September 3, 1971 Some of the other products containing more than 1 per cent lead which might possibly find their way to consumers are the following products: SPEEDENAMEL Y-4553 Y-4554 Y-4560 Y-4565 Y-4576 Y-4510 Y-4520 Y-4540 Deep Green * Medium Green4'/ Medium Yellow Bright Red f Deep Orange </ / Safety Orange*^ Safety Red v/ Safety Yellow J Q.

GLD01Z640 fic. w, D. Kmsell (interior Lead Paint) -3 September 3, 1971 It is obvious that many of these products have a very low risk level of reaching the consumer for interior residential applications. it is possible, however, that government personnel could pick up some of these products in our stores. Certainly the Y-5600, Y-57G0, and y -4500 lines are really suspect. As soon as possible I would greatly appreciate recommendations as to our action on these three aforementioned materials Y-5600, y-5700, Y-4500. It is my recommendation that they either be immediately reformulated with less than 1 per cent lead or be removed from the line. HJK d Mr . W. A. Miller, UCB Mr. G. L. Bechtel II Mr. D. W.
